Your photos yesterday remind me of this song: Last time I did the cross-Canada drive, I had that song lodged in my head for days.

Historicalarms: I didn't think that would be much in demand. DPittman: I considered buying or building one for a while. Eventually decided against it. Several reasons, but the primary one was that the chairperson of the family finance committee has a veto. Taking lessons was OK, so I flew...
